Action on Obesity

Extracts from Royal College of Physicians working party report: 'Action on obesity: Comprehensive care for all.' (Jan 2013).
- Obesity increases risk of diabetes 5 times, colon cancer 3 times and heart disease two and a half times.
- An energy deficiency of only 100kcal (eg a small glass of wine, a slice of white bread, a chocolate biscuit) per day predicts a 0.5kg weight loss in a month.
- Prevention (of obesity) and long term weight loss maintenance require sustained changes in diet and physical activity habits.

Personal training with Falcon Health and Fitness can help you to achieve your weight loss goals.
